Comments on: BUSH WILL PARTICIPATE IN SAINTS’ WORKOUTS http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/17/bush-will-participate-in-saints-workouts/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:38:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: DozenDeuce http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/17/bush-will-participate-in-saints-workouts/#comment-8662 DozenDeuce Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:33:29 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/03/17/bush-will-participate-in-saints-workouts/#comment-8662 The issue with Reggie is that while he's fast, most of his "moves" only work in the open field. I took alota heat before his draft saying that he should be moved to WR but now his career's saying it all for me. He reminds me of a taller, stronger Steve Smith: natural hands catcher, great vertical & high-points the ball, breakaway speed & open field moves that make guys look silly. Bottom line is that he can't run between the tackles and he can't turn the corner like he could at USC cause NFL defenses are too fast. IMO until somebody wises up, his potential will remain tantalizingly out of reach. The issue with Reggie is that while he’s fast, most of his “moves” only work in the open field.

Bush is such a gifted athlete that he's never really had to prepare in order to dominate; rather his speed and ability always just gave him an edge. It's nice to see him realize that he has to be dedicated to excel like that in the NFL. Although I still have my concerns about his game, I'm considering this development a good sign.

Good choice, he can do the FreeFloDo in between team-sanctioned activities.
